Other Incidents

Contact between the Sydney Swans’ Ben Ronke and North Melbourne’s Trent Dumont from the fourth quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. The ball was loose with both players coming from opposite directions. Ronke has his hands out in front of him and reaches the ball fractionally before Dumont, before making high contact to the North Melbourne player. A free kick was paid to Dumont. It was the view of the Match Review Officer that Ronke was contesting the ball and the high contact was dealt with at the time with a free kick paid. No further action was taken.

Sling tackle? You clearly haven’t watched it properly from the front and in slow-mo. Nyhuis only ever was pulling him down – Gray tries to stand up and break the tackle which caused the “hop and slam” motion. If Gray dropped to his knees it would have been a perfect tackle.

Will get a couple of weeks for and that’s fine – unlucky string of circumstances led to the concussion and it’s what the AFL is trying to get rid of. Shame though, because he was winning the duel over Gray up until that point too – best game he’s played as a small defender for us.

It did seem his arms where clearly pinned , he had his hand around his right arm. He was swung around and then driven into the ground….I didn’t seem gray had much choice in the matter completely unnecessary IMO.
But of course everyone will have a differing opinion…I will go watch the incident again…. I still though don’t believe he is a afl level player at all.
